"Same as previous" doesn't stay set
Word 2003, XP: We have a document with a fairly simple set of headers and
footers but it has a problem. Here's how the document is set up: - Headers and footers are NOT different for the first page of each section or for left and right pages. - The front matter has section breaks for such parts as the table of contents. We turned off "same as previous" for these headers and footers. - After the front matter all the later sections have "same as previous" going back to section 1 (which is right after the front matter). The problem is, after some typical work on the document, usually in later sections, some of the headers or footers in the front section have the "same as previous" status (which we had turned off), and this deletes whatever we entered in the header or footer. Can someone suggest what the dependency could be, or what would change the setting we used? -- Christopher Brewster Lockheed Martin, Eagan MN Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...ayout/200912/1 |

"Same as previous" doesn't stay set
The Same as Previous setting should only be enabled for Sections n where n
is the Section number of the first section after the front matter. -- Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP Please reply only to the newsgroups unless you wish to obtain my services on a paid professional basis.

Also, note (which may or may not be relevant in this case) that whenever you
insert a new section break, "Same as previous" is ON by default. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ...

"Same as previous" doesn't stay set
I know my description had a lot of detail, but I may have left something
unclear. We want "same as previous" OFF in the front matter. We TURN IT OFF, and it comes back ON by itself. Both the responses sound like my meaning was reversed. Sorry for unclear wording.

"Same as previous" doesn't stay set
Each section can have up to three different headers (and three different
footers): a first page, an odd page, and an even page; this is the case if you select "Different first page" and "Different odd and even" in Page Setup. Whenever a section contains more than one header (footer), each type must be unlinked separately. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "christophercbrewster via OfficeKB.com" u3143@uwe wrote in message news:9ffd9cc40b3a3@uwe...

We are not using different first page or different odd and even. Just one
header and footer per section.

"Same as previous" doesn't stay set
OK. Under which circumstances does "Same as previous" get activated again?
Can you see a pattern? The point I was trying to make in an earlier message was that if you add a new section, "Same as previous" will be switched on by default (even if the option is turned off in the existing sections). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "christophercbrewster via OfficeKB.com" u3143@uwe wrote in message news:9ffde6ef66c6f@uwe...

"Same as previous" doesn't stay set
We can't see much of a pattern except that we were doing ordinary work on the
document. The times that it happened may have involved adding a new section in the main body that does use "keep with previous". Could this affect the front matter where this feature is off? (Seems to me it shouldn't, but this is Word.) Stefan Blom wrote: OK. Under which circumstances does "Same as previous" get activated again? Can you see a pattern?

"Same as previous" doesn't stay set
Intermittent issues are very difficult to troubleshoot, of course... :-(
I agree that it seems unlikely that a section break outside of the front matter would affect the front matter. Just in case the document is damaged, you could try the following (on a COPY of the document): Delete all the section breaks, copy the content (except for the final paragraph mark) into a new document, and then recreate the section breaks. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "christophercbrewster via OfficeKB.com" u3143@uwe wrote in message news:a0012a13ddcf9@uwe...
